She had no interest in arguing with these women.
The more silent she became, the more aggressive the women became.
"You probably don't know this yet, do you?"
"Know what?"
The woman beckoned with her finger, and several nosy old women leaned in to whisper in her ear.
They were whispering, but the volume was so loud that they wanted everyone to hear.
It would be difficult for Su Ruanruan not to hear it.
“About a year ago, I went to the woods to dig for wild vegetables and saw a rabbit, so I chased it for about a mile. I didn’t catch the rabbit, but I did hear some other sounds.”
Having said that, she stopped talking and glanced at Su Ruanruan with a radiant expression.
The old women, their curiosity piqued, quickly nudged her arm, asking, "What did you hear?"
The woman glared at Su Ruanruan again and said sneer, "I saw someone pinned against a tree by Zhang Dashan, and their red undergarment was ripped off..."
"Really?"
"Tsk... Zhang Dashan is a hunter, and he's very healthy. Sister-in-law, don't you think he's amazing?"
These women, when they had free time, would often sit together and say some risqué things, but the woman's ears still turned red.
Even after so much time has passed, the scene from that day is still vivid in my mind. Every time I think about what happened that day, I can't sleep at night. That strong, muscular back is always on my mind...
Then, when he realized that the person was pressing against someone else, not him, his icy eyes glared fiercely at Su Ruanruan.
What's so good about Su Ruanruan? Although she's young, she's not pretty, how can she compare to me, who still has a charming appearance?
She then turned her gaze to Su Ruanruan's ample chest. This little girl usually couldn't even get enough to eat, yet she was so well-developed. No wonder Zhang Dashan was so fond of her.
The nosy old woman asked again, "Then...who was that woman? Did you see her clearly?"
The woman sneered and gestured with her chin toward Su Ruanruan.
The group of people looked on with understanding and then burst into laughter again.
Su Ruanruan remained calm and pretended not to hear. The woman had exaggerated the matter, but Su Ruanruan was too lazy to explain or refute it.
Even if I refute it, no one will believe me anyway.
Zhang Dashan went hunting in the mountains from a young age and had little interaction with the original owner of this body.
Zhang Dashan heard mostly gossip from others, saying that this woman led an immoral life.
After the original owner's mother passed away, her and her younger brother's lives became even more difficult.
Because the original owner's mother was so angry after learning about those things, she never helped others with laundry or other chores in the village again.
I just go into the mountains to pick wild vegetables and gather wild fruits more often each day.
As the weather gets colder, there are no wild vegetables left in the forest, so she has no choice but to return to her old ways and make a living by washing clothes for others.
Gradually, Zhang Dashan would often run into the original owner of this body on the mountain. She would always stay far away from others, working while silently shedding tears.
He had seen her from afar a few times and felt that she wasn't like what others said, sharing some of her prey with the original owner. Over time, they became somewhat familiar with each other.
However, he didn't know that his second uncle's family always snatched away the prey, leaving the siblings with barely enough to eat.
But the original owner was weak and was threatened by them not to tell anyone. The family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to cook and didn't have enough to eat.
The original owner went to work as a casual tofu seller at a tofu shop in the county after being introduced to a job by someone, leaving his younger brother alone at home.
To make matters worse, one day her younger brother, Su Xiaoxi, was so hungry that he went to the henhouse and took an egg. He was then chased and beaten by his damned second aunt's family.
Su Xiaoxi was terrified and ran up the mountain, but she accidentally rolled down a steep slope and broke her leg.
The original owner felt uneasy that day, as if something was about to happen.
She quit her job early and returned home. When she saw Su Xiaoxi lying in the yard, groaning in pain, she was stunned. She frantically tried to find the village doctor, but the villagers who carried Su Xiaoxi back told her that the village doctor had gone to another village to help deliver a cow.
The original owner knelt down and begged her grandmother and second uncle's family to help her, but they heartlessly slammed the door and said that Xiao Xi's leg could not be cured and they did not want to waste money, and besides, they had no money.
Having no other choice, she immediately thought of Zhang Dashan.
But they discovered that he had gone into the mountains and had not returned.
Gritting her teeth, she headed into the mountains to search.
When they found him, he was covered in blood, with bloodstains on his lips, and dragging an injured deer behind him.
Because he drank deer blood and developed feelings for the original owner, Zhang Dashan's primal instincts were triggered when he saw the original owner.
He pinned her against a tree, and because she needed his help, the original owner did not resist.
But Zhang Dashan quickly came to his senses, feeling guilty and remorseful. If he hadn't woken up in time, he wouldn't have just kissed the neck and collarbone.
He also learned why the original owner had gone into the mountains to find him. Without saying a word, he went back, took all his belongings, and borrowed an oxcart to take the brother and sister to town overnight.
Even after spending all her money, Su Xiaoxi's leg was not cured, and she eventually became a cripple.
Not long after this incident, Zhang Dashan left without saying goodbye, and no one knew where he went.
Since then, the original owner never saw him again. Whenever the night was quiet, she would secretly shed tears. It would be a lie to say that she had no feelings for Zhang Dashan at all. She felt that she had been taken advantage of and cruelly abandoned.
In fact, Zhang Dashan had been sending money all along, but it was all embezzled by Grandma and Second Uncle's family, and the original owner was unaware of it.
Later, the original owner met Mu Bai, a kind-hearted man. Whenever he finished selling tofu and had free time, he would teach her to read.
Gradually, the original owner developed feelings for this cheerful and refined person, but knowing that she was not good enough for him, she suppressed these feelings.
